Addressing Systems

Addressing systems are methods used to identify locations or specific units within a network or a system. In computing, an addressing system assigns unique identifiers (such as IP addresses) to devices, allowing them to communicate and find each other efficiently. Think of it like a postal address that directs mail to the right destination. These systems are essential for organizing, routing, and accessing data or resources accurately within large networks, ensuring that information reaches the correct device or location without confusion.
